One fun lil theory I just had with Kenji and Minori is what "if" they are brother and sister kenji took his dads last name, that's why he's been hit harder by Minori's passing
Something I was wondering about is did Minori die while at sea? if so then I think she must have fallen overboard during the voyage from Europe to Japan and during a heavy storm which would contribute to her death by drowning because I'm guessing her body isn't on the Frontier in the huge freezer or meat locker because that would be too traumatising for everyone.
So if she did indeed fall overboard then there's a slim chance she survived and was rescued by another boat or washed up on shore somewhere .
Just my thought
@Solestead I imagine you have a note book with all the characters names and what they do, I'm guessing you have a lot of characters your working with so I don't blame ya
I'm curious will there be a flashback to young Shiho and her mother? I'm imagining Shiho's mother is more brutal and merciless than Shiho and she has trauma from her mother even just remembering scares her.
I imagine that if you did the bit I suggested with Kenji & crew meet Oda and she belittles Minori and Kenji defends Minori Kenji would suddenly remember her and her death making Kenji have a serious seizure startling everyone including Oda
@Solestead sad if you did I'd follow you and open DM's so we can talk with longer text and I could give you some random ai art characters I've got so you'd could use them in your story
I'm definitely excited for the next chapter ✨️, I wonder how this story will go and will there be a peaceful ending for all of them.
I remember we've seem the Hizuki family so are going to see the Miyuna family in the future? Be very interesting to see
